Privacy Policy

Game Forge AI is operated by Code Ninjas East Gwillimbury. This policy explains how we handle information when you use our game-making tool. We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and its 2025 amendments.

COPPA Compliance

Game Forge AI is designed for children ages 7–16 and is used under instructor supervision at Code Ninjas. We comply with COPPA by:

• Collecting the minimum information necessary to operate the service
• Obtaining verifiable parental consent before children use the tool (signed consent form provided at enrollment)
• Not using any data for advertising, profiling, or AI model training
• Providing parents the right to revoke consent at any time
• Maintaining a written data retention policy (see below)

What We Collect

We collect minimal technical information only. There are no accounts, no login, no registration, and no tracking cookies. We do not ask for or store names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other personal details.

IP Addresses

Your IP address is used solely for rate limiting (preventing abuse of the service). IP addresses are held in temporary server memory for a maximum of 60 seconds, then automatically deleted. They are never stored permanently, logged to disk, shared with third parties, or used to identify individuals.

Game Descriptions

When you describe a game, your text is sent to Anthropic's Claude API for processing. These prompts are not stored on our server. Per Anthropic's privacy policy and API terms of service, API inputs are not used to train their AI models and are not retained beyond the processing window.

Important: Users should not include personal information (real names, addresses, school names, phone numbers) in game descriptions. Our AI is instructed to ignore any personal information if accidentally included.

AI-Generated Content

Games are generated by artificial intelligence (Anthropic Claude). Generated content may occasionally contain errors or unexpected output. All use is intended to occur under adult instructor supervision in a classroom setting.

Data Retention Policy

In compliance with the 2025 COPPA amendments:

• IP addresses: Held in volatile server memory for ≤60 seconds, then automatically purged. Never written to disk.
• Game prompts: Transient — sent to Anthropic API for processing, not stored on our server. Anthropic does not retain API inputs for model training per their API terms.
• Game history: Stored in the browser's localStorage on the device used. Never transmitted to or stored on our server. Users can clear this at any time.
• Server logs: Our application does not write access logs. Error messages logged to the console do not contain user-identifiable information.
• Cloudflare: Cloudflare processes connections at their edge and may retain connection metadata per their privacy policy. We do not access or use Cloudflare analytics.

Children's Privacy

Game Forge AI is designed for use by children ages 7–16 under instructor supervision at Code Ninjas. Parental consent is obtained via signed consent form before a child uses this tool. Our AI is instructed to never ask for or encourage sharing of personal information.

Parental Rights

Parents and guardians have the right to:

• Review what information is collected (described in full on this page — no additional data exists)
• Revoke consent at any time by contacting us. Your child will no longer use Game Forge AI. Revocation does not affect enrollment in other Code Ninjas programs.
• Request deletion of any data. Since we do not store personal data permanently, there is nothing to delete, but we will confirm this upon request.

Third-Party Services

We use:

• Cloudflare — DNS, content delivery, and DDoS protection. Cloudflare Privacy Policy
• Anthropic (Claude API) — AI game generation. Anthropic Privacy Policy

No analytics, advertising, social media, or tracking services are used. We do not share any data with third parties for commercial purposes.
